Hey guys, i found just cars (im in adelaide, not sure if just cars is throughout australia) a good insurance company. Well.....for starters they were the only mob who would insure me and secondly it wasnt that expensive compared to others. I got full comprehensive with rating one for just under 1k. Not bad considering it was a R33 4 door.....and yes insurance companies that is an import!!!

Regards Evan

Paying $950 for comprehensive for my r33 4 door non turbo.

They said there was only a $50 difference for turbo.

I got full comprehensive with optional rating one.

Mags, stereo, exhaust, window tinting included.

$700 excess

Situation = 22 years old, No accedent history, driving since 16 1/2

Thats it, i think im doing alright!!!

DId you insure the car for an agreed value?

Can you take it to your own repairer if its involved in an accident?

Do you get a free windscreen each year with no excess?

Can you pay by the month at no charge?

Can you do more mods without the premium increasing?

On the online quote it asks if the car is modified and states that all modifications must be legal. Does this mean that if my car is modified with say, an intercooler, exhaust, suspension etc, that it has to be engineered to meet the requirements of the insurance company (Famous)?

well by law an insurance company cant promote illegal modifications cover hense why is says it will only cover Legal Modifications. I doubt you will find an insurer who wont say that.

If you do have an illegal modification on your vehicle, it will come down to the insurers descretion as to weather or not they cover you.

For what it's worth I just hooked up with Famous. 34yo male, rating 1 for life with Suncorp up 'til now (who won't touch me since I've put on the hks 2530 turbo), was paying $570 with suncorp - xs $1650, Famous = $755 - xs $500, full comp, unlimited legal mods (R33 GTS-T Series 2) in Townsville. Pretty happy, though only nominated drivers are covered. Were the cheapest I found in my searches.

hmm just started readin this thread. Seems like Matt is the man here.

Ok at this stage im on thirdparty with just cars, payin 650 or there abouts. But i know its about 600. Excess is Like what 1.5k or something..

So im thinkin of going full comp next year or end of year!! just for the sake of it. Coz im starting to drive more these days.

Im 20, no accident, no claims, no speedin fines etc etc (touch wood)..

So matt, what can your company provide me?? Am i to young for full comp??

What will be the price say now or next year when i turn 21 in april??

Cheers mate..

'I can assure you they do as mine is insured through them. You probably have to ring them though most online quotes dont like do imports

I have emailed Vigil as well after getting that same message, and was told they do NOT insure Skyline's and that i may have to go with the Just Cars quote that i mentioned. Nice huh? I'll call them and see what happens.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
